A Nottinghamshire bar and restaurant received a low rating in its recent food hygiene report, but despite being disappointed the owner is confident this will not hold them back.

The Red, based in Bancroft Lane, Mansfield, received a rating of two, on a scale of 0 to 5 – with 5 being the highest score.

The bar and grill is run by business man Jonathan Edwards, who also owns other pubs in the town centre such as andwhynot, Cheeky Monkey's, Late Lounge, and others in and around Nottinghamshire such as The Lion at Farnsfield, and The Devonshire, in Shirebrook.

He said: "Of course we were extremely surprised and bitterly disappointed with the rating we were given on that particular day in April.

"Whilst we consider our rating unfair in parts, we have, and always will continue to work closely with the Environmental Health Department at Mansfield District Council, we accept and follow their recommendations.

"As this rating clarifies, they felt minor improvements were necessary on that day, every single recommendation and observation that was made to us was rectified within hours.

Mr Edwards also thanked customers during this "small set back" – and even invited future customers to inspect the premises.

He added: "We'd like to thank our customers for their loyal support as ever, especially on social media.

"Our invitation to any present or future customers that may feel unnecessarily 'put off' by this temporary rating still stands, please feel free to take a look around our kitchens - you'd be more than welcome to visit us."
